Ghajini....Aamir's splendid show


Ghajini is Aamir’s way of showing that he can do what shahrukh and salmaan can do. And can even surpass them by leaps and bounds. Ghajini, a remake of the Tamil film of the same name is a movie which one normally doesn't expect of Aamir but after watching one is bound to love the movie and adore Aamir.

Ghajini, loosely inspired from Hollywood Classic 'Memento' (Polaroid concept and tattooing of the body completely lifted from the movie) has been adapted well to suit the Indian audiences by Murugadoss. The story revolves around a patient (played by Aamir) suffering from short term memory loss, in search of his girlfriend's killer.

Aamir has brilliantly portrayed the character and his eight pack abs made him look more convincing in the role. The love story between Asin and Aamir is quite refreshing and likeable. Asin has an undeniable screen presence and one is bound to like her. A.R. Rehman once again scores with his great music with the song Guzarish leading the pack. Jiah Khan is quite tolerable as the medical student. Pradeep Rawat as the villain is quite convincing but is not at all the best choice for the role. There are quite of loopholes in the movie such as Aamir being such as big business tycoon yet no one has seen his photograph ..which is actually not acceptable in this internet age. But these loopholes are worth missing for the overall experience of watching Ghajini

Ghajini is a complete masala Bollywood movie with great music, romance, action and above all an eight pack Aamir Khan. All of these make a three hour and fifteen minute long ghajini worth watching and enjoyable.

Rating : ****
